In the conflict between it and the LNR concerning the provision of internationals, the FFR said that a last attempt at conciliation failed on Wednesday. The Council of State's decision on this dispute is expected by the end of the week.


The Council of State will therefore have to settle the conflict on the provision of French internationals in the fall between the Federation (FFR) and the National Rugby League (LNR), which did not reach a conciliation on Wednesday, said the FFR.

"The FFR and the LNR do not find any agreement and rely on the summary judge of the Council of State", declared in a press release the Federation, remained firm on the 6 matches to be played for the XV of France but which had offered several concessions in order to lessen the loss of these key players for the Top 14 clubs.

The search for a compromise, since the summer and the decision of World Rugby to double the window of the autumn tests (October 24-December 6) in order to catch up with the meetings canceled or postponed by the Covid-19 pandemic and bail out the federations' coffers, stumbled over the number of matches.

The clubs believe they have already reached out by accepting 5 matches for the Blues instead of 3 usually and refuse to go beyond.

The opposition of the clubs had not prevented the Federation from publishing in early September a schedule of six matches for the XV of France.

Shortly after, the Top 14 clubs voted unanimously to refer the matter to the Council of State.

The FFR had proposed improvements

The Blues of Fabien Galthié, who announced Wednesday a group of 31 players, must play a preparation match on October 24 against Wales and then receive Ireland in their last match of the Six Nations Tournament 2020, on October 31.

Before playing four more matches in the Autumn Nations Cup, an eight-team competition launched this season.

To obtain an agreement, the FFR proposed a ceiling of 5 matches per player, to put at the disposal of the clubs the players not selected "for the whole week", to release the whole group for the week of international rest at the beginning of November , which corresponds to the 8th day of the Top 14, and not to retain for the first week of preparation the players who play the European Cup finals with their club (Toulon and Racing 92).
